I was following Matte’s art since 2009, and I have to say I am still amazed and amused every time he’s showing a new painting. They have all the jazz and coffee, and you can admire a few selections right here:

Because we really like craft with a note of hipster in it, I want to present you these rad sets of hand painted hexagonal coasters made by WOODISH ( Maria Burachu ) in Romania. Enjoy!
